by some chavs. fuck them. was walking home, 2 of them on bikes started biking behind me insulting me, kept walking, one of them hit me, went into a forecourt of a petrol station and one them wacked me and left me for cold.
luckily no severe injury other than bruising and slight jaw injuries on both sides of my face. As soon as they floored me they biked off as quick as they could, luckily didnt lose any possessions, but hopefully they are on cctv. It greatly depresses me that in a supposedly 'civilised' society there are still people who randomly attack people. God bless the west :).

im so sick of hearing these kind of stories about fucking chavs.
the governemtn keep making excuses as to why they act like they do...but its quite simple- people LET them act like that.
they should be punished, not given more attention.

what we need to do is comfort these people who attack others. we need to buy them PS2's and counsel them as they are humans just like us. the only reason they attack people is because they really want to go to college or get good jobs but they never get the chance...so lets give them that chance. Lets pay more tax and give them that chance

centre of york :/. meh fuck them you know what i mean.
Obviously wherever you get some dicks. I dont think it was a conscious effort more just a spare of the moment. I always wonder why or how people end up to think doing something like that is a good idea.
Its like brainlove getting attacked a while ago, reading that greatly made me unhappy about the modern society we live in. And the fact we are constantly sold the bullshit idea that we as a nation are great... its only going to get worse as this generation of kids grow up.
Ive thought this since the 2nd year of college, as soon as im educated im out of this country, as long as we see america (dont get me wrong capitalism is a good model)as the blueprint I want out.

it is not anti PC.
It is simple, sometimes people react to things inappropriately with violence, in this case it is their response that is incorrect, not that they are necessarily sociopathic, they need to be reformed.....
In other cases such as this, where someone has offered them no provocation and where there is no great profit motive there is little to rehabilitate, basically some people like to hurt others and try to get away with it, bullys sadists and cowards (there is always more than one and they pick on people who do not look ready for a rumble

What is there to reeducate here......what can you say....."no lets rechannel their desire to hurt random people into a desire to hurt people who..... what?"

Throw the f***ing book at people like this go overboard make the whole of society realise that what we really disapprove of most of all is not illegal financial gain but the willingness to hurt innocent humans for no reason.

If some people are truely born with just an innate desire to hurt others....that it is just nature and not nurture, then I would not have too much of a problem with pushing them under a bus

that. I laugh like I laugh every time I read the letters page of the Sun if I happen to see a copy. Perfect example yesterday:

'When are we going to have a referendum on bringing back hanging?'

'Why does it take 4 years to build 2 jails when near me 300 houses were built in just 12 months'.

I laugh because otherwise I would weep. I agree that people who attack other people for no reason are cunts. No dissent here.

What gets me is the populist notions of 'throw the book at them', 'lock em up and throw away the key', 'they should be tortured' etc. ad infinitum. I find it difficult to believe that people are generally inherently evil (there probably are exceptions). There are many factors that influence people to behave in this way, and there are different ways to deal with problems like this, before AND after they occur. I don't buy the 'lock 'em up', 'torture them', 'bring back hanging' solutions. This is populist reactionary rhetoric that the newspapers like to shove down our throats because that sells papers and people like to hear that/voice it themselves. There is a wealth of research out there that can inform decision makers about what policies can reduce crime, particularly in the long term. Yet decision makers ignore it as it does not win votes.

If I sound like some bleeding heart liberal then I really don't give a shit. There are better ways to combat crime than currently employed, and being MORE punitive simply will not solve anything.

sorry, couldn't help it... and sorry to hear about being mugged too easy_rob

I'd rather see people like the gangs that did the 200 muggings on the train be declassified as sentient hman beings as they're basically not, are they? (this is where it gets really daily mail, sorry), if people can't behave like civilised beings then they should have basic human rights taken away from them and this encapsulates your gang of hoodies assaulting OAPs to the businessman conning thousands out of money. I read that a conman in China has been sentenced to death this week, is that too harsh?
